Judge blocks most of San Francisco cellphone warning law

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A federal judge has struck down most of a San Francisco ordinance that requires retailers to warn customers about cellphone radiation and its health effects.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled the required warning is misleading because it implies cellphones are dangerous and unregulated, and he ordered city officials to change the wording on the fact sheet that retailers are required to distribute.

The judge said the brochures must include a statement that all cellphones must comply with the Federal Communications Commission's safety limits regarding radiation emissions.

City Attorney Dennis Herrera said he will appeal the judge's decision.
